Episode 12
Come in.
I'm glad you came.
Say hello, this is Director Seo Jin Ki from Seryo Construction.
And this is our Manager Kim Do Hyung.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm Seo Jin Ki from Seryo.
I'm Kim Do Hyung.
Just as the rumors said, you are like a robot.
Let's sit.
What would you like to drink?
I'll take ginseng tea.
Ginseng tea for Director Seo. Korean herbal tea for me.
Get me one ginseng tea and one Korean herbal tea.
I'll see you next time.
I have something important to discuss with the branch manager.
That's right.
What brought you in?
It's regarding the loan approval.
I'll report to you later.
Okay, you may go.
What happened?
You went head to head with him? You don't look so good.
- The director from Seryo is here. - The problematic Seryo?
I knew it, I had a bad feeling.
We used the last 20 billion you gave us very well.
Now, we should be starting the actual construction work.
We'll need to start digging and buy soil.
Of course.
That's why we need an additional loan.
How much more do you need?
You look deep in thought.
Are you already calculating your own personal gains?
You'll get me in trouble.
Personal gain?
I said the wrong thing.
It's a legal contract.
But we'll get you a certificate of payment through the constructor.
That way, it'll look good to the outsiders as well, no?
Is that what he thinks as well?
I'm sorry.
I'm Seo Jin Ki from Seryo.
Who are you?
You must be the one who took my guy's car.
You stubborn, bank guy!
Mr. Bank Guy...
Director Seo...
I'm sure I didn't delete it, but the file is gone.
- Which file? - The insurance fraud I looked into.
You may have deleted it by accident. I'll try to get it from the hard drive.
Thanks.
[Kim Do Hyung]
Yes.
What is it, Manager Kim?
Director Seo...
sir...
I want to introduce myself again.
Nice to meet you.
That's such an unexpected welcome from you.
I'm a bit taken aback.
It was a pleasure meeting you, too.
Let's go play gold one day.
The three of us.
We can continue then.
You must be busy, you should go.
Yeah, I should.
I'll walk you out to your car.
This way please.
He's being overly nice today.
The car...
where did you park it?
That's enough for today.
I can go alone now.
Is there something you want to say?
No.
Hmmm...
I heard a not so good rumor.
Something tragic happened to your fiancee?
I'm sorry.
I don't want to upset you.
I pray that she may rest in peace.
Thank you.
Then...
Mr. Bank Guy...
Director Seo...
Seo Jin Ki.
I'm making a right turn at the intersection.
Mr. Kim Do Hyung, where are you?
I'm inside the underground parking lot.
It's dangerous, don't approach them.
Just pass by.
Director Seo...
you better watch out.
You'll get yourself exposed.
Just pass by.
How did it go at the bank?
Thinking about it, it's weird.
What is?
Joo Hee's dead, but he's still working fine.
That's not the bank guy's style.
Is he Romeo then?
Should he kill himself?
Yeah, there's nothing he can do.
Even if he feels wronged, angry, and sad...
he'll just have to accept that, and try to live on.
Just like the character Candy.
Anyway, we can retire from selling people now, right?
I'm so sick of doing insurance now.
It took ten years.
Starting with Hak Soo until now...
Ten years.
Glove.
Yes, sir.
Sit down.
You think you can do it?
Do what?
You take over the people business.
I want to have fun with numbers now.
You got that?
Yes, sir.
I'll try my best.
You did well.
Even if you catch Director Seo and his men, you can't prove anything.
And we can't let them catch on that Joo Young is alive.
Still...
- he may harm Joo Young... - You said he believes Joo Young is dead.
That makes Joo Young safe.
We can catch them while they still believe that.
- Okay. - But...
Why did Director Seo come to the bank?
He must be the head of the shadows.
Why did he come to the bank?
Park Tae Gyu and Director Seo...
They are both involved with the bank.
I'm trying to figure it all out right now.
When it becomes certain, I'll tell you everything.
What are you going to do now?
I'll have to keep watching.
We found out their location.
I'll find out what they're thinking, plotting, and doing.
We'll do a thorough investigation, and arrest them.
Please work hard.
I need to get going.
Director...
There's something you need to watch.
Yeah, what is it?
Captain, I got the file.
Yes, I got the original file.
Yes, I'll get it printed out for you.
Yeah it's me, Detective Park.
What is it now?
You police...
why do you keep bothering a hard-working business man?
Business man?
Who are you talking about?
I'm happy today, so I'll keep it short.
If I make it long, it'll destroy my mood.
Detective Cha followed me to my office.
Why do you keep making a fragile lady work?
What if something happens to her?
Shut up.
Listen carefully.
I'll explain it nicely just once.
That fragile lady cop may turn up dead.
She may be discovered with all her body parts severed.
Head, body, feet, legs all separated.
Are you...
threatening a cop?
Why, threats don't work.
Money works.
Remove Detective Cha as soon as possible.
Everybody will be happy then, do you understand?
If you are sick of Detective Cha, then watch to see what I do to her.
These eels are so amazing.
Whether they lay eggs or babies...
People still haven't been able to find the exact location.
Pretty cool.
It doesn't want to show what it laid.
But people are different.
Whatever it is they laid, they want to show it off.
What about you?
- Pardon? - Are you going to show off, or hide it?
I'll try to be transparent all the time.
You've been taking the medicine?
Yes.
The mornings are better since I've been taking them.
Then you should pay for the medicine.
I stopped by Shin Gook before coming here.
Yeah?
They'll get us an additional 30 billion won.
Then what's the total?
Shin Mi Savings, Tee Bank...
Total of 120 billion won.
I see...
It's a bit disappointing, but still you tried hard.
Thank you.
Just remember these eels.
You understand?
Yes, sir.
Mr. Lee Ki Soo, living as Seo Jin Ki...
You should live as the real Lee Ki Soo now.
Pardon?
Didn't you say you want to open up a savings bank of your own?
Yes, Chairman.
Finish this up well.
Then I'm sure good results will follow.
Thank you, Chairman.
Go work.
Then.
Why did you ask to see me again?
You are talking as if we have no business to discuss.
Is that how it sounded?
That's not what I meant.
I'm not so tactful.
Mr. Seo Jin Ki... No, I mean...
You are Lee Ki Soo, right?
Isn't it all thanks to me
that you are able to prosper now?
You had days when you were like a lost mutt begging under Song Hak Soo...
Don't you agree?
I'm always thankful for that.
Just words?
I don't care about that.
That's just burdensome.
Especially coming from you.
Shouldn't we find the new owner for Song Hak Soo's secret account?
Oh...
Don't worry too much.
Just give me half of it.
Secretary Kim.
If I give it to you now, the chairman may see.
If that happens, not only me...
but your gut will be slit to save another life.
Be patient.
If you wait patiently, you'll get something.
You don't understand what I'm trying to say.
Half of Song Hak Soo's account.
If the numbers are good
I don't care if it's from your own account.
You understand now?
Yeah, come in.
Have a seat.
Can you finalize the loan process for Seryo Construction?
Director Seo told me that we will receive a certificate of payment.
If Seryo Construction doesn't do well, we can go after the constructor.
You checked out their financial statements?
Of course, I did.
You think our bank will give out a loan without checking that?
It wasn't the bank, it was your own decision.
What?
The numbers you saw, they are all programmed numbers.
I'm sure that no such agreement took place.
And the selling price for the residences in Gyeonggi...
Don't you realize the prices have been inflated beyond the market rate?
Estate prices are always changing.
- Why are you being so sensitive? - Seryo Construction...
is likely to be a ghost company.
There's no financial statements, accounting papers, or perfect numbers...
There's something you don't know, yet.
Seryo Construction is a healthy corporation. I checked already.
And of course land prices rise when they get developed.
- It's beyond that... - Manager Kim!
Residential land development in Gyeonggi is good for our bank, too.
It's a good business.
Do you know how much we can make in this economic recession?
In my opinion, the business is not transparent.
Director Seo..
- Director Seo... - He's a good business man.
Anyway, once we loan them 30 billion, the construction will start.
Additional loan?
We have no choice but to continue.
Director Seo is in a gang, right?
That construction business gang we heard rumors about.
I'm trembling.
He approached me shooting out lasers with his eyes.
He looked like a total gangster.
- I need to go audit Seryo Construction. - What?
- You keep your eye on the branch manager. - He was clean.
Let's look into Seryo Construction ourselves.
- What? - Start with accounts dealing with them.
Find out where the money went.
Fine.
I'll give it a shot.
Thanks.
Wait, you want me to do all that by myself?
Hey, that's a lot of work...
Hey...
May I help you?
I'm from Shin Gook...
Is Director Seo around?
Director Seo...
Director Seo?
This is the project financing team.
Maybe he's at the headquarters.
There's a separate headquarter?
Where is the headquarter?
It's in Manila.
What brings you here, young master?
How's your body?
I'm fine.
I'm checking in with your doctor...
He said you should stop by, it's been long since you talked.
Let me ask you one thing.
How involved are you with Seryo Construction?
You'll manipulate the law to turn what's illegal into something legal?
I don't know what you are trying to say.
I never manipulated the law.
Seryo Construction...
Stop your involvement.
Otherwise, I'll make you stop.
What a cold kid.
Yes, Detective Han. Why aren't you coming?
I told you I need additional help here.
I was going to go right away, but Detective Park...
Hyung Sik?
What about Hyung Sik?
Okay, I'll talk to him.
- Hyung Sik. - Start the car.
- What? - Please, let's go.
- What's going on? - This...
This isn't right, let's go.
What's with you?
You knew?
You knew they were here?
Yeah.
I knew from the beginning.
I've been watching carefully.
This is our work.
So you should step out.
You knew everything...
How could you not tell me when you knew?
How could you keep it from me all this time?
Captain Cha.
Something can really happen to you if you keep this up.
What?
You don't know what the shadows are capable of?
You know the current ones are even worse than Song Hak Soo.
Song Hak Soo, Lee Jang Ho, Yoon Joo Young!
They are all dead.
And?
You're scared, so you want to run away?
- You call yourself a cop? - Please!
Can you please just do as I say?
I...
I can't lose you.
Please.
Yoon Mi.
The chief ordered to turn over everything on the shadows to the homicide team.
Of course.
We shouldn't be getting involved with the shadows, so scary...
What brings you here early in the day?
And you even called me...
Director Seo isn't picking up my calls.
What?
Go tell Seo Jin Ki...
I'll kill him if he touches Detective Cha.
I will kill him.
Detective Park must really love her.
How tacky.
Where's my laptop?
It's in the meeting room.
- Did you print them out? - Print what out?
You said you got the files.
But isn't the homicide team taking over?
So you handed it over to them?
Yes, you didn't say otherwise before.
The insurance fraud was on the missing persons.
This is our case. Go get it back!
Yes, I understand.
There's somebody else on top of the shadows?
Jeonju...
Jeonju on top of Jeonju... And somebody on top of that...
Loan sharking has a pyramid structure.
That's why the shadows have no choice but to be evil like that.
They are loyal like dogs to the ones above them.
Do you know what happened to me last time I got captured by them?
You saw the leader's face?
I did.
But...
He fed me meat.
And the meat tasted really good.
Even in that situation...
But his presence...
I could tell he was a chairman.
Everybody was calling him that.
Chairman?
Yeah, Chairman.
Not chairman of some small organization...
Real chairman.
You are tracking the 20 billion loan that was paid out, right?
Is there something you know?
No, nothing.
This life is such a comedy.
The loan shark's money flows through the bank.
And then that money goes to the ones rejected by the bank.
And now a bank guy is looking for that money...
But where am I going to find my Mi Sook?
Manager Kim.
You asked for my help.
You said we would find Mi Sook together.
Okay.
Huh?
Now, I need to know.
Know what?
- Loan sharking. - What?
So will you help me?
What about Mi Sook?
You are East Gate?
You are S Loan Shark?
They said you were pretty. It was all true.
Why did you want to see me?
You don't know?
I don't know.
Look, girly.
Just because you have money...
you can't freely loan out money to just anyone and charge interest.
So...
leave the field while I'm being nice to you.
How much do you need?
For what?
Tax.
I'm young, inexperienced, and unskilled...
so it's hard for me to make a living.
But I do have some money.
- So I'll pay you tax. - You are embarrassing me.
Take half.
- What? - I'm sure you heard the rumors.
And that's why you took time out to come here.
We get customers easily.
I'm sure it won't be a losing business.
Those are all my customers from three years ago.
You are taking my customers from three years ago.
I can expand to other areas.
So just take my money.
The end.
I'm done talking, so just leave.
Don't go against my word.
I won't harm you.
I'll just meet with your clients.
If you do that to my clients
I will be very disappointed.
Seriously...
You are totally clueless.
You think I'm the type to go easy because you are a girl?
Don't go easy.
What?
I know you are not the type to go easy on girls.
Stab me.
I hate living anyway.
I wish everyday that I can die.
So stab me.
Stab me, bastard!
What a lunatic...
Girly, you are really something else.
Nice.
I'll keep around whatever I like.
Let's talk more next time.
He was like my rival in this field.
He's very rough.
In the past, he used to work at a furniture factory.
They say he used his head as a hammer to make desks.
His nickname is Hammer Head.
- We need to come up with a plan. - Here?
I'm still talking, look...
I was talking.
Damn.
Punk, what the heck!
Why are you so violent?
Is that you, Park Tae Gyu?
You didn't die?
What the heck...
You hired him?
Where did you find him?
From abroad?
- UFC champion? - No...
You know... What?
Let's cooperate, drop that.
What?
Why should I put this down?
- I'm not here to fight. - What a psycho...
You just beat up all my guys...
I'm here to do business.
What business?
Loan sharking.
I'm here to do loan sharking business.
So you want to invest in me?
That's right.
You are a funny guy.
I've been meeting a lot of funny people lately.
Wait...
Just because you get an urge to invest in this field one day...
it's not something anyone can just invest in.
I know Jeonju is behind you.
That's why...
You know a lot about me.
I'm not telling you to end your ties with him.
But...
I'm just letting you know that my investment can help you out.
Just think about that.
And I'll tell you something important.
I'll tell you the interest rate I want.
The interest on my investment would be the same as the bank interest.
When a really hard time hits
don't forget that I'm by you.
I'll get going then.
Seriously...
Wait up...
Excuse me.
Come on.
You really want to get involved in this business?
What about the bank?
- Isn't investment money hard to come by? - Come on...
Manager Kim Do Hyung.
Why are you voluntarily coming into this dark world?
It's no joke here.
And I really don't want to get involved with those guys anymore.
Really.
I made a promise.
What?
What promise?
That I would destroy the shadows.
And I'm going to get revenge for Joo Young.
So you are going to use Hammer Head
to get close to the shadows and get them?
That's right.
You'll die.
You'll die trying!
I don't care.
I can't live like this.
Jo Su Nam.
Wait...
Mr. Do Hyung, I gotta go pull out my car.
You are tailing them right now?
I don't know how many are in there, but I'm sure they are missing persons.
When they arrive at their destination I'll call you.
No, I'll track you down right now.
Call me if something unexpected comes up.
You came alone?
Yes.
You'll be okay?
I can take care of myself.
Okay, let's go.
- Go, and get the back. - You get the back.
It'll be easier for me to approach.
Okay.
What?
What's this?
Did you order coffee?
Who are you?
- Get the items and go! - Yes.
- Let's go. - Hurry!
Hurry up!
Run, run, run!
Who the heck are you?
Go! Hurry!
Run!
It's been awhile.
Mr. Jo Su Nam.
Get him!
Hyung Sik.
- How did you come? - You even took your gun.
So I tracked your number and got here.
What are you trying to do?
Who did this to them?
This is my case.
I'm the one who did everything.
The shadows are our work.
- You heard the chief's orders. - Still...
Captain.
Please don't make this hard for me.
Yeah, what is it?
Listen carefully.
Let them go.
You're an expert at losing people.
I'm sure you are concerned.
I'll send you a few pictures to take care of your concerns.
Decide quickly.
I can't guarantee anything if you are late.
Did something happen?
Captain!
Get out.
Go.
Damn bank guy...
Get revenge if you want.
Get lost.
Can I find out where Park Hyung Sik is?
Let me check for you.
I will need to investigate further...
but they were the lowest level of the shadows.
And Jo Su Nam...
escaped due to a car accident.
I'm sorry after all you went through.
I've been thinking since before.
Why are you always a step too late?
Why can you never catch them?
Why do you think?
Among you, the information is leaking.
That guy among you...
He's the one who gave the info on Joo Young to Director Seo three years ago.
Before you help me...
you should take care of that.
Find out who's leaking the information.
And put an end to it.
You'll give me half the interest?
Just as I said.
Now?
Fine, I'll be there.
He wants to see me right now.
We got him.
Go.
Go and finish it up.
Come on, let me do this.
So...
Park Tae Gyu and someone else came?
The bank guy.
Are you alright?
Are you hurt?
